Customer pictures of Model Builder buildings

Model House rough

You can use Model Builder with a variety of materials, as this customer did with "a model of my house, imagined during hard times. The backing is breakfast cereal box cardboard."
Fantastic way to recycle!

Used Car Office

"The software is easy to use and looks great when finished."
This is one of several several 1:64 scale dioramas depicting scenes along Route 66 that one of our customers has made using Model Builder software.

Rustic Model Building

"Took some time out from other modeling to take a whirl at your free sample [found at our Model Builder page]. I added details on the trim to give it more dimension, as well as building up the false front a little. Turned out great. I already have the Brickyard package, and I will be ordering your design software soon!"

Brick Harborside structure

"I just completed these two 3D flats using your Brickyard papers. They are modeled on actual buildings from my hometown. I added details but am just blown away by the appearance of your papers. Careful weathering with powdered charcoal really makes them pop, in my opinion."
We think these extra details really make the design pop. Thanks for sharing!

Seal Harbour Church in HO-Scale

This model of the Seal Harbour Church (in the maker's hometown) is in 1/87 (HO) scale and was built using Model Builder.

Cardstock Sheds

Wondering what materials make a difference in building your models? Check out this submission from one of our customers.
"I downloaded the free download of the shed and then built it two different ways. The first one was just as the designer did on cardstock. With the second one, I glued the cardstock on black chip board, then glued the walls to the front and back letting the chipboard show. It looks great, just like trim!"

Model Lumber Mill

"I just completed my very first scratch built with the aid of Model Builder. This is the Casterline Sawmill & Lumberyard in Hillbilly Junction, TN. The sawmill workers are Prieser construction workers. I designed this in part from a photo I saw of a custom kit that cost over $400! My actual investment was about $35.00!"
Model Builder is just as cost-effective as it is easy to use!

Southwestern Depot

This model was a customer's first G-scale Model Builder building.

Shoshone Village Model

This scene is a scale model of Shoshone Village, CA, a gateway to Death Valley. Adhesive paper was used on plastic sheet with styrene roof materials along with Evan Designs' Model Builder.

Winslow Diorama

A customer submitted this NTRAK module of downtown Winslow, AZ. All buildings were designed using photos of the area and converted to N-scale using Model Builder. Building designs were printed on adhesive-backed photo paper, which was then applied to 0.020-thick polystyrene sheet and panels glued using 1/8" angled polystyrene. Tenax corners were touched up using pastel chalks. The end result looks like a flyover photo. Thanks for the submission!

Small General Store

This building was one customer's first attempt with Model Builder. Looks like he's already a pro!
"I used a cardboard box, plain paper, tacky glue, and real stones. The gas pump is scratch-built."
What a great first project with our software!

Cooders Store Using Model Builder

Customer Roy Wilke submitted this diorama with the Cooders Store mode from Evan Designs' Model Builder. The model represents a suburban shop in an Australian city or medium-sized town. The original model has been modified by replacing the gable roof with a half-hip roof and replacing the shingle roof card with cards that mimic corrugated iron roofing. The awning posts, as is the sub-frame that holds it all together, are made of matchsticks. The "tiled front" for the shop's street frontage comes from a file for a London Underground station, and the advertisements are taken from the Internet. The front windows and doors are open and include a rudimentary shop interior, which can be illuminated with an installed LED.
"Thank you for your time, and for providing a rather good, easy to build, and easily-adaptable model building."
Thanks for the submission, Roy!

Another beautiful Model Builder project! This shed is perfectly detailed.

This interpretation of Evans City Station has a main structure made from foam board covered with printed clapboard siding. Doors and windows were printed and lollipop sticks cut and glued where necessary.

Metal Fabrication Freight

Built with Model Builder, this freight station is in 1:220 scale. This model uses cardstock 110-lb paper with basswood framing (1/16" x 1/16").

Apartment Model

Using Model Builder, another customer created a building "with a few extra angles ... and any evident mistakes are the fault of this architect." No faults seen here!
"It's a bit larger than I intended, having a footprint of 11" x 9". It's made of 110-lb (199 g/m) index card laid over black foamcore. Black foamcore is much less likely to gouge out at the edges than white foamcore."
This is an overall shot with a Star Wars miniature (28mm tall) for scale.

Freight Transfer

This freight station for both semi trucks and train cars was designed using Model Builder and made of card stock and basswood frame.
"This was a Z-scale model I built with your program. It was 4 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 1 1/2 inches tall." Thanks for sharing!

Z-scale houses

"I think there may be several Z scale enthusiast out there that don't realize yet how simple it is to create their own structures."
We agree! Check out our free samples at the Model Builder page to see what you can create!

Radville Saskatchewan Depot

This is Plan #2062-HO - a CNR 2nd Class Depot, modeled directly after the one in Radville Saskatchewan. The exterior was designed entirely in Model Builder. The walls were constructed with 64-lb cardstock. The floor and roof subsurface are balsa, as are the handmade eave brackets and gable decorations. The lower edge of the roofing material is serrated to add realism.

One Model Builder customer completed this tractor supply building using some new techniques, particularly on the corners. Fantastic job!

Depot Buildings

"I really like the program."

Large Warehouse Model

Dave Roeder shared the largest structure he's created so far: a current-era layout in HO scale. The foot print is 22" x 42", and the height of the taller curtain wall is 12.9". The curtain wall structure is 10.7" x 22". The green steel wall is 8.2" high. There are 7 rail dock doors; two are under the notched corner. The two at the rear and the rearmost on the rail side are for reefers. The docks are set for 60-foot cars.
"Thanks again for your support."
